'To love a life that tries almost every moment to make you hate it and to still stare stare back at it and say yes, I love it. What's scarier than an opponent who smiles while being beaten?'
—Friedrich Nietzsche

The greatest romances are built on great misunderstandings, Orpheus loved Eurydice enough to challenge death itself, descend into hell, yet not enough to trust her footsteps behind him.

“Read and reread the campaigns of Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Gustavus Adolphus, Turenne, Eugene, and Frederick. Model yourself upon them. This is the only means of becoming a great captain, and of acquiring the secret of the art of war.”

-Napoleon's 78th Military Maxim

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

He is truly great who deemeth himself small, and counteth all height of honour as nothing.

“The genuine thinkers—we do not know them and do not know the ways by which they have perhaps spoken to us—do not belong among the ‘number’ of the philosophers.”

I speak in the present tense, it is so easy to speak in the present tense, when speaking of the past. It is the mythological present, don’t mind it.

Nietzsche was right, you’ll either become who you were meant to be or spend your life making excuses for the man you never became.

Every man that tries to figure out the world entirely on his own ends up building a small, stupid god to replace the one he rejected. it never fails. he drops God, picks up science or stoicism or some guy on the internet who read enough books to pass for a prophet, and within six months he's talking about cold showers and circadian rhythms with the same exact tone a priest uses on sunday. the need to worship doesn't go anywhere just because you decided you're too smart for it. it just finds smaller things to attach to, and smaller gods make smaller people. nobody quits God. they trade down.

It doesn’t matter how many books you read (or pretend to read), it only matters how many ideas get inside of you and become permanent architectural features of your inner life, and what the quality of those ideas is.

The only thing an old man can tell a young man is that it goes fast, real fast, and if you're not careful it's too late. Of course, the young man will never understand this truth.

[BAUDRILLARD IS A BLACK GNOSTIC @AeonBaudrillard]

Against Marx: the more things happen and the worse they get, the less they matter. The global nightmare of 2020-21, for example, was inconceivable even in 2019, yet no one mentions it, and there have been no consequences. Something worse will happen and it will matter even less.
